the five rivers of hades - I

The ferryman Charon is believed to have transported the souls of the newly dead across this river into the underworld... In ancient times some believed that placing a coin in the mouth of the deceased would help pay the toll for the ferry... If someone could not pay the fee it was said that they would never be able to cross the river...
